1914 to 2014--Has Jesus been ruling for a 100 years?

by Londo111 in

dearest jw,.

likely you are reading this because you are wondering that very thing: did jesus become king in october 1914?

will october 2014 mark 100 years of kingdom rule?.

My personal opinion is based on the title of Knorr's 1966 talk, What Has God's Kingdom Been Doing Since 1914? Can you name ONE thing? Jesus gave signs the fulfilment of which whould be obvious, including astronomical signs. I'm still waiting to see them.

All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!

by stuckinarut2 in

yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

I think it's remarkable

by Old Goat in

i think it's remarkable that real watch tower history exists, despite the watchtower society's attempts to control the message.

by now, everyone who reads my posts knows i'm a fan of the truthhistory.blogspot.com blog.

and of the new book, a separate identity.

A cult? The modern Watchtower organization reminds me of the Sons of Eli.

It's rough draft writing. She says so in the introduction. I think they'll discover the misspelling on their own.

I think it's remarkable that real watch tower history exists, despite the Watchtower Society's attempts to control the message. By now, everyone who reads my posts knows I'm a fan of the truthhistory.blogspot.com blog. And of the new book, A Separate Identity. I've just come from reading the newest article on their blog. You should read it. I'm so pleased with the detail. Why didn't the Watchtower write something like this? Simple, direct history, let the chips fall where they may. I would respect them more for it.

The one point I found most interesting is the comment that Paton continued to consider himself a clergyman and lived off his preaching. Maybe he would have done better by staying a farmer. As I watch this history develop, I find my self bemused that one of the authors (Schulz) who is a Witness (Dr. de Vienne isn't a Witness) can write with this detail and de-mythify Watchtower propaganda. In the interests of full disclosure, I worked with Mr. (Dr?) Schulz way back in the day at District Conventions. He's one of the few Witnesses I continue to respect.

Letter to BOE: Adjustment in process for appointing elders and ministerial servants

by pixel in

hello, you read it here first!.

governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

to all congregations.

Old Goat

They appointed on the basis of the Circ Ov's recomendation anyway. Not much of a change. The issue isn't who appoints; it's that they provide no real training or education for elders. None. None that matters.

So ... if an elder turns out to be a pedophile, do we get to sue the circuit overseen?
